The Bajrakli Mosque (Albanian: Bajrakli Xhamia / Çarshi Xhamia; Serbo-Croatian: Bajrakli džamija / Бајракли џамија) is the main mosque situated in the center of the Bazaar of Peć. It was built in 1471 by Sultan Fatih Mehmet Hani and is an Ottoman-style single-domed mosque with the oldest and highest dome in the city. The mosque was burned down once during 1943 by Italian forces when the Bazaar of Peć was completely burned down, but was refurbished and was unperturbed during the 1999 War in Kosovo.
